The Hot Hand in Professional Darts
Research-assisted source review
- What it supports
- The analysis found strong but short-lived serial dependence consistent with hot performance states.
- Where it may not transfer
- Observational play, player heterogeneity, match context and model choices limit causal claims. Professional darts does not predict gambling, investing, product use or an individual’s next attempt with certainty.
